Why do we think tiny quantum ripples should have been present in the very early universe?
A) The shock wave of the Big Bang caused ripples that expanded outward with time.
B) The energy released when the strong force froze out of the GUT force caused shock waves that produced ripples in the universe.
C) Matter and antimatter particles that spontaneously formed from high-energy photons caused perturbations in the radiation field.
D) The annihilation of matter and antimatter particles caused tiny explosions that perturbed the radiation field.
E) Quantum mechanics requires that the energy fields at any point in space be continually fluctuating as a result of the uncertainty principle.

Exhibit 13-1
Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected by a light cord that passes over a pulley of mass M, as shown. Block m2 slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. The blocks and pulley are initially at rest. When m1 is released, the blocks accelerate and the pulley rotates.
?
?
Use this exhibit to answer the following question(s).
Refer to . The total angular momentum of the system of the two blocks and the pulley relative to the axis of rotation of the pulley is
a.
the same at all times.
b.
proportional to l1, the length of string from the pulley to m1.
c.
proportional to l2, the length of string from the pulley to m2.
d.
conserved because the Earth doesn't move.
e.
proportional to the speed of the blocks.
